Debuting from the United States Mint today at noon ET is their 2022-P American Liberty Silver Medal. Struck to a proof finish from 1.000 troy ounce of 99.9% silver, the medal is priced at $75 and has a mintage limit of 75,000.
This new release features designs which first appeared last year on the 2021-W $100 Proof American Liberty Gold Coin. That coin was $2,715 and limited to 12,500. It lasted for only 24 hours before selling out.
Both last year’s gold coin and this new silver medal offer a refreshed rendition of Liberty, as described by the U.S. Mint:
"The American Liberty Silver Medal™ series celebrates modern interpretations of the representation of American Liberty. The 2022 medal offers a bold and breathtaking representation of the determination and power of the passion for American Liberty."
Liberty Silver Medal Designs
Representing Liberty on the medal’s obverse (heads side) is a design created by Beth Zaiken and sculpted by Craig Campbell. The image shows a wild American Mustang horse, bucking off a western-style saddle, symbolizing the throwing off of the yoke of British rule during the American Revolution. The horse is centered on a rising sun. Obverse inscriptions include "LIBERTY" and "2022."
An eagle with an open beak appears on the reverse (tails side) of the medal. The design was created by Richard Masters and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is inscribed on the reverse. There is also a "P" mint mark, denoting the medal’s production at the U.S. Mint facility in Philadelphia.

Giddy-up!
Agree
Rodeo time!
“Blazing Saddles”, silver edition.
Next the Mint will come up with a Lone Ranger coin. Why not Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket as well? And to be fair, Tonto.
Davy Crockett and Danial Boone were real. Lone Ranger would be a Liz Cheney coin and of course Tonto would be portrayed by the Sacagewea coin. or Robert Downey Jr.
“The lone ranger” was based on the life of a real person … US Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves. He was a slave that escaped during the US Civil War. He served as lawman for 32 years, captured 3000 wanted criminals, and killed 11 criminals during shootouts. His territory was presided over by “the hanging judge”.
I laughed a lot during that movie.
It was funny to me because I was in army and our unit is tropic lightning. Hail hydra, no… strike lightning. Yeah, that was the motto. Strike lightning.
It’s $75 and not a coin. Why not buy a bar of silver bullion? I guess there’s a market for this.
I got one. I’m in the market for it because my wife won’t let me buy the gold coin version.
You can be right or you can be happy.
Depends on the Mrs.
Antonio, I had to pick up two because it seemed like a “best seller” even though the price was stiff. Crazy, because at noon ET the Mint site and page seemed desolate with little traffic and super fast transaction process with no interruptions (only one brief browser check).
Hi ho silver!
US Mint Data Available “41397” before release at 12 noon EST someone talk to me.
Gary, maybe that is how many were initially produced out of the mintage limit of 75,000, and when those 41,397 are sold and data-available = 0, the medal will go into “back order” for purchasing with an expected (in stock) shipping date while more are produced (up to the mintage limit).
maybe the 34,000 not listed are the amount reserved to replace damaged coins that people turn in. but my theory of they pre-sold it to the big market people and expecting returns of unsold ones on ebay is still my go to
Gary and Dazed, looks like I was wrong about it going into “back order” status as it became “Not Available/Remind Me” instead. However, I don’t think the Mint pre-sold 34,000 before launch, rather, the mintage limit of 75,000 means that no more than 75,000 medals will be produced and sold, but less than that limit can be produced and sold (the mintage limit does not preclude that less than the limit will be produced). Thus, perhaps this medal will be limited to a final mintage of approximately 41,400 (way short of the 75,000 mintage limit).
so at what point do they decide when they will cut off the presses? how often do they mint less than the limit? i am not familiar with medals. mostly coins and sets and even then i am a noob with years of experience and my g o l and e keys are black from googling so much to get info. i know it is hard to pin down who will like what. i mean seriously, a person making millions a year opening boxes at the age of 7. i can see the military medals being a collectible, makes for… Read more »
Only thing nice about this is the clamshell display case. The reverse proof Morgan and peace dollar set for 2023 should have the case.
In and out for 2 clamshells. Smooth transaction.
It’s starting to sound like The Flintstones.
Yabbadabbadoo
Wilmaaaaa
Don’t worry, be happy.
Gilligan’s?
Yes Tattoo.
right at 9,000 left. guess without limit the ebay sharks and MM have swooped in whatever they dont sell on ebay will be returned and my guess is 17,000 will be available soon after. I do not see any use in the medal, but I still got 2 of them despite only 3 comments on the article before the sale, which usually is way longer.
How are yall able to see what amount has sold?
right click on the add to bag, inspect page, ctrl f, and type data-a
view page source, not inspect page
right click on product sale order page outside of text, dialog box appears, click view page source, click ctrl-f then fill in data-available in box. info is highlighted also refresh to see numbers go down, probably 0 by now.
Awesome, thanks!
Isn’t that a restaurant in Spain?

Oddly, I did not see the sale of the BOGO for the 225th ANNIV gold coin. which is buy ounce get 1/10 free til today, not sure why it did not show up in my news feed. You’d think after 5 years and selling less than a third of them they would scrap the gold they bought way cheaper and use it to make coins this year since apparently gold is hard to source for the mint. more so now that Russia gold is out the loop (at least until it is melted down and recast into China gold or… Read more »
It doesn’t mean “wake up!”? I’m clueless about these things these days. I must be middle aged and this is what “generation gap” means. I’m not old, just a little stiff and not as limber. And what’s this about gender? He, him and I forget the third one.
1925 as of 1229
gone. time of death 12:35

I’m happy they sold out, more power to them.
Like those ads in the back of comic books. I miss those days. Alas, I had no dollar to send to find out if I could amass a Napoleon’s army. I did have a bunch of baby turtles but none lived for very long. 🙁
Must have been a good seller as of 11:30 it is currently unavailable.
Amazing Its only a medal not even a coin, as bad as Littleton
U.S. Air Force One-Ounce Silver Medal
Also a medal
Except the USAF medal is unlimited mintage, not limited to 75K. Was surprised a limited mintage medal didn’t have any household purchase limit.
It will be interesting to see what the actual mintage of the USAF ends up being, it may be “rarer” than this one.
rarer, until they find 2 pallets of them in a janitor’s closet 5 years from now and sell on the shopping networks as a 2027 release of the 2022s and get a special slab for it, probably some sports figure or science fair winner to sign only 200 ever made labels. just seems it is all a marketing sham these days. i cant imagine having to try to order these from a mail in flyer found in a weekly newspaper. please send check or money order and self addressed stamped envelope to the mint. first come first serve. refunds will… Read more »
There are no sea monkeys?!
hmmm. wonder if there will be a top gun label with a limited edition signed by tom cruise. even more limited would be a val kilmer signature
But, Sir Kaiser, Ventris Gibson (no relation to Henry Gibson) had this to say today en route to the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money: …”I had a profound moment of clarity shortly after President Biden nominated me to serve as the U.S. Mint’s 40th Director. I was face-to-face with an opportunity to lead this historic agency — in a manner that reflects my personal core values of fairness, integrity, trust, accountability, credibility and transparency. I was looking at a perfect match.” Reference: Coin World, New Mint director sees her position as ‘an incredible opportunity’ (Published: Aug 18, 2022).
Have they got a deal for you.
I thought Trump took care of the Swamp.
He drained it and exposed them. It’s up to us to replace them.
Amuck, amuck, amuck.
OK so how many people spend $75.00 a week on cigarettes and booze at the end of the week what do they have? My guess is they have bad habbit do the math which would you rather spend your money on?
Coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet, these aren’t coins.
I thinknif they tried selling the 2017 gold coin for face value even Walmart and Popeyes workers wouldn’t accept it. 5 years and still under half the mintage to sell. Storage must be cheap. They would do better to melt them and make a LE gold morgan and peace set
I agree completely, having just received the the 2022 liberty medal, i just wish i had
bought more, great case
Right on, Mike! Old loves die hard.
Don’t worry gang !!! Iron Mike Mezack has got plenty of Scary Eagle cheap medals for you !!!!ANACS !!! “JUST UNDERSTAND” Still the “KING” !!!!>>>>>>>>
SAM’S THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They had a limited supply available at the World’s Fair of Money today in Chicago. Had a posted limit of 5. Grabbed 2 and the Mint Director was there offering to sign the package/CoA of whatever you bought there.

I like the looks of the medal. Thank you for posting the live version of it. I am glad I bought one. I might need to start saving up for the gold one. Maybe in a few years I get the gold version unless another trinket or bauble catches my eye.
Already shipped out! That’s a change.
Same here…shipped. I would have preferred this medal was a silver dollar “Liberty” however, it does complement the Gold Liberty Issue
Well, it is the gubmint working with the gubmint, so the mint knows to ship fast before the post office raises rates again. If the PO made an inflation stamp it would have to be a self stick stamp since nobody with their ivy league degrees or bartenders certificate can lick it
Got the “Remind me” notice it’s available again to order. Wondering if there were cancellations or just stock left from the coin show sales. Put in order for one, glad it was back in stock.
They are currently available.
Looks like there at 431 available as of 9:06am central time… They must have already sorted through accounts that payments did not come through… It seems they have done a better job in updating the websites ability to handle purchasing of products.
Nice update.
appears to be unavailable again…
Got that for 99.95. I would still pay 175. Very nice medal. The 2016 American Liberty medal was 34.95 and a favorite of mine. Miss the mints old pricing. https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/medals/2016-american-liberty-silver
Major D: Not sure when it changed but 116 is great. The 2016 had a household limit of 2 from each mint and sold out relatively quick.
Available again at 10;30 Saturday morning.
Mine arrived yesterday; one had spots (like those left behind by soap bubbles) on the obverse field and is on its way back for replacement/refund.
A absolutely gorgeous coin, depicting what Freedom is about.
